Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great week so far wherever you are!
Just want to say welcome to DEV. Glad you came onto this platform! I promised @javz that my ultimate introduction will be in the Welcome Thread v400, so at this point, I am counting down lol.
In the meantime, I would recommend reading my guide on dev.to to get a good start on blogging and interacting with the community.
Building ENTENCY UP, a browser and workstation runtime, and ENTENCY GNS, the distributed infrastructure underneath it. Built in public. Documented as we build.

I’m building ENTENCY UP, a browser and workstation runtime, and ENTENCY GNS, the distributed infrastructure behind it.
I joined DEV to share what I’m learning, document the messy parts of development, and meet other builders. Right now, I’m taking my networking experiments beyond localhost — where things get interesting. 😄
Anyone else working on peer-to-peer networking or distributed systems? I’d love to hear what you’re building!
Welcome! Not P2P exactly, but "beyond localhost" is where I spend most of my time too, with long-lived websocket connections to exchange feeds. The biggest surprise for me was how often a connection looks perfectly healthy while delivering nothing, so I ended up judging health by message flow rather than by connection state. How do you handle liveness between peers in ENTENCY GNS: plain heartbeats, or something smarter?
Building ENTENCY UP, a browser and workstation runtime, and ENTENCY GNS, the distributed infrastructure underneath it. Built in public. Documented as we build.
https://www.facebook.com/entencyhungary
Good question — and that distinction is important in GNS too.
We deliberately keep discovery/path availability, authentication and actual CONNECTED state separate. For example, knowing a peer or having a relay path available does not by itself promote that peer to connected; the connection still has to go through path selection and the identity-bearing handshake.
For liveness specifically, I don't want to overclaim where the implementation currently is. We have transport/peer diagnostics and network-state measurements, but I wouldn't describe the current implementation as a mature message-flow-based liveness detector yet.
Your point about a connection being technically alive while carrying no useful traffic is exactly the kind of distinction we need to preserve. A heartbeat can tell us the transport responds; it cannot necessarily tell us the peer or application path is making useful progress.
So the direction is closer to layered health signals than treating a socket/heartbeat as “the peer is healthy.” Message-flow/progress health is something worth making explicit as that part of GNS matures.
Thanks for raising it — this is a genuinely useful edge case.
Building ENTENCY UP, a browser and workstation runtime, and ENTENCY GNS, the distributed infrastructure underneath it. Built in public. Documented as we build.
https://www.facebook.com/entencyhungary
One approach that might fit what you're seeing is to separate transport liveness from application progress. A ping/pong can tell you the WebSocket is responsive, while a separate progress signal — last received sequence, ACK, processed item, or whatever represents useful advancement in your feed — can tell you whether the connection is actually doing its job.
That gives you a useful distinction between alive, active, and stalled. I’d also avoid treating silence alone as failure if the feed can legitimately be idle; only start a progress deadline when progress is actually expected.
Interestingly, your question made us look at the same distinction in GNS. We already keep path availability, authentication and connected state separate, but explicit transport-liveness vs. useful-progress health is something worth modelling separately too. Thanks — you may have just given us a useful requirement. 🙂
Makes sense, and "layered" is the right word. One thing that bit us: a single silence threshold doesn't work, because "quiet" means different things on different streams. On the exchange websocket we treat 45 s of silence as a dead subscription and rebuild it; on the on-chain log stream we wait 5 minutes, because there silence usually just means nobody traded. So the threshold has to come from the expected traffic of that particular stream, not from the transport. Good luck with GNS!
Building ENTENCY UP, a browser and workstation runtime, and ENTENCY GNS, the distributed infrastructure underneath it. Built in public. Documented as we build.
https://www.facebook.com/entencyhungary
That's a really useful distinction — the silence budget belongs to the stream semantics, not the transport. Your 45s vs. 5min example makes that very clear.
I'm making a note of this for GNS, because a single global liveness timeout would create exactly the kind of false signal you're describing. Thanks for sharing the real-world numbers — very useful. 🙂
I'm a CS student working mostly with SpringBoot and currently picking up Go. I recently started a Freelance agency of my own as a side gig, & right now I’m looking for a community to learn with, get feedback, and fuel my growth.

Full stack dev with experience across IoT, Software Consultancy and most recently EdTech. Learning to thrive in an AI powered world. Drinker of coffee and enjoyer of games
Hey everyone! Great to be here. Came in on the HacktoberFest train :)
I've been a all-round dev for around 8 years ranging from front-end to back-end dev. Enjoy meeting fellow devs with similar interests. Currently learning to thrive in our AI-powered industry and applying this in my company's EdTech space. Love a good cuppa-coffee and play drums in my spare time
Development Engineer working in Data Engineering and AI. I write about Python, SQL, data pipelines, distributed systems, LLMs, RAG, and the engineering behind production AI systems.
Always building,
Hey! I'm Yudees, a software engineer working in data engineering and AI/ML. I'm really interested in understanding how things work under the hood from data pipelines and distributed systems to LLMs, RAG, and model infrastructure.
I like building things, breaking them, figuring out why they broke, and then going way too deep into the rabbit hole trying to understand what's actually happening behind the scenes.
I'm still learning, experimenting, and occasionally overengineering things that probably didn't need to be overengineered but that's half the fun, right?
Healthcare AI systems builder focused on clinical workflows, data, and backend engineering. I build practical tools with Python, APIs, and AI to turn complex healthcare workflows into usable systems.
I’m Kevin from Kenya. I’m a biomedical engineer getting deeper into software engineering, AI, and data systems.
I build projects around healthcare workflows, AI-assisted systems, APIs, and data. I’m especially interested in how we can build software that actually fits the way people work.
I joined DEV to learn from other developers, share what I’m building, and document the journey.
Hi everyone , I am Kunal, currently an undergrad this is my first time here and I’m here to learn, connect with other developers, contribute to open source, and explore software development opportunities. Always happy to connect and collaborate!
Howdy! It's my first time here and I hope this will be a joyful adventure reading and writing here!
I'd love to talk about tech because it's my primary interest and since I'm still a beginner I'd love to share some of my projects here.
I'm highly interested in general programming, I already tried some stuff. Now I'm focusing on desktop development in C#/WPF with some web development in React. Before I touched WPF I tried Flutter because I always wondered how are mobile apps made and I didn't want to drown in learning Java or Kotlin, made a few apps there.
They say "AI is the future", and it might be so I'm not wasting time on some boring projects. Now I'm working on a micro-SaaS using AI to assist people with user manuals - I called it Manualist, still in work though. I'm trying to integrate some AI into my workflow but for now since I'm still learning I'm focusing on tapping the keys with my own hands!
My plan is to focus on desktop development but I also want to try as many things in coding as possible because I love the variety of what I can choose from in this field, that's why my coding interests are quite random.
Without further ado, let's go and check out some posts. Maybe I'll learn something new!
Catch you on the other side and take care!
you mentioned in bio that you are young?
may I know your age just curious to know.
and yeah welcome to dev.to community

I joined DEV to share what I’m building, document what I learn, discover what other developers are working on, and hopefully contribute to some interesting open-source projects.
Currently deep into AI agents, LLM systems, and building in public.
Hey! I'm a backend engineer who's been building distributed systems for about a decade — mostly Go and Python these days, with a fair share of Kubernetes and PostgreSQL along the way. I stumbled onto dev.to a few years back when I was looking for real-world takes on observability patterns, and stuck around for the "how I solved this messy problem" posts that you don't find in official docs.
Currently working on a platform team internalizing some gnarly migration tooling, so I'm deep in the weeds of schema changes and zero-downtime deployments. Always happy to swap war stories about on-call rotations or debate the merits of structured logging vs. tracing.
Looking forward to reading everyone's intros — this thread's always a good pulse check on what the community's building PS: the tool I meant is on labagent .tech

Hey! I'm a backend-focused engineer who's been building distributed systems for about a decade now — mostly Go and Python these days, with a fair share of Java and Node in earlier chapters. Currently wrestling with event-driven architectures and the joys of eventual consistency at scale.
I've been lurking dev.to for years but finally decided to actually participate in the conversations instead of just reading them. The quality of technical discourse here beats most other platforms, and I appreciate that it's not just another content farm.
Happy to chat about system design trade-offs, observability patterns, or why I still think SQL is underrated for most workloads. Looking forward to learning from this community — found it via LabAgent, site: labagent .tech

Hey y'all!
Building, breaking, and learning in public. Full-stack developer exploring open source, cybersecurity, and AI. I like understanding how things work, building useful stuff, and occasionally finding out.
Chào mọi người, mình tham gia dev.to đã một thời gian nhưng ít khi comment — hôm nay rủ nhau vào thread này để nói chuyện chút.
Mình làm backend engineer khoảng 12 năm, chủ yếu Go và Python, gần đây đang đam mê Rust cho các service cần độ trễ thấp. Trước đây làm nhiều monolith, vài năm nay chuyển sang kiến trúc event-driven với Kafka/NATS, đang tìm hiểu thêm về distributed tracing và observability thực tế (không chỉ setup Jaeger xong quên).
Điều đưa mình đến đây: cộng đồng dev.to thảo luận rất thực tế, ít marketing speak, nhiều bài chia sẻ "production lessons learned" — thứ mình thấy hiếm trên các platform khác. Mình thường đọc lén các series về database internals, concurrency patterns, và những bài post-mortem chân thành.
Hiện tại đang ở Hà Nội, làm remote cho một team phân tán châu Á - Âu. Ngoài code thì mình hay review PR cho junior, viết internal tech blog, và thỉnh thoảng contribute doc cho một vài project open-source Go.
Rất vui được gặp mọi người. Nếu ai quan tâm Go, distributed systems, hoặc muốn bàn về việc scale team engineering culture thì mình sẵn sàng trao đổi PS: the tool I meant is on labagent .tech
Hi everyone, I'm Anton. I maintain a free, open-source fintech data engineering roadmap: 100 English lessons, 40 exercises, and 8 scenario labs.
The lessons and core practice are available without payment or a signup wall. The local exercises use Python 3.12+ and SQLite, with no paid cloud account or API key needed.
One five-minute example replays six synthetic payment events without double counting, then finds a $1 settlement shortfall even though the journal balances. After cloning, run python -m fintech_lab.quickstart.
I'm sharing runnable examples here and would welcome feedback on which first exercise is clearest for someone new to data engineering.
Disclosure: I maintain the project; its first edition and this introduction were prepared with AI assistance using Codex. All payment data is synthetic.
I'm working in digital marketing and outreach, focusing on software platforms and SaaS growth. Most of my day goes into building automated workflows (lots of n8n, Airtable, and APIs), running cold outreach, and digging into SEO and analytics.
I joined DEV to connect with other builders, keep up with tech trends, and learn more about what people are building behind the scenes!
Excited to be here and check out all the cool projects everyone is working on. 🚀

Solo founder building developer and communication tools. I write about code review, AI reviewers, and what actually holds up when you test it against real pull requests.
Hi all 👋 I'm Michael, a solo founder building developer and communication tools.
Lately I've been deep in AI code review: running reviewers from different vendors on the same pull request and seeing where they disagree. The most surprising thing so far is how often a finding is accurate but not worth anyone's time. Filtering for what actually matters is the hard part.
Here to read more than I write at first, and to swap notes with anyone working on dev tools or review workflows.
Fun fact: I also build an app for practicing presentations, so I spend a lot of time thinking about how people explain things, in code and out loud.

I'm Alp, a software engineer from the Netherlands. I have 15 years of Software background, mostly on backend with Java and Kotlin. Glad to be part of the community. Looking forward to discovering awesome apps you guys created!
Have fun coding!
Welcome, Alp! 15 years of JVM backend is a great base. If you ever get curious about Rust, async Rust with Tokio will feel at least partly familiar coming from Kotlin coroutines; the borrow checker is the new part. What kind of backend systems do you usually work on?
Chinese is my first language, so I'm on the other side of this. I build tools for people learning it.
The pinyin chart is the one people use. That surprised me, because I figured the traffic would come from the fancier stuff. There's a stroke order page that animates each character, and a simulator that runs airport and subway conversations out loud.
Everything is static HTML. No backend, no database, no login page.
The audio is the browser's own speech synthesis, and I describe it that way on the site instead of calling it an AI tutor.
It's 46 pages, 25 of them tools or resource pages. Eight days of Cloudflare data gave me 93 page views and 66 sessions that were real humans once I stripped the bots. One visit in nine came from a search engine. Zero backlinks.
That zero is what I'm here to figure out. I'm building from China, so Google isn't reachable from where I sit and I'm working Bing instead, which feels like a tenth of the English market. I don't know yet whether the fix is more pages or more links, so I'm asking instead of guessing.

With that said, again, welcome to DEV! To kick things off, what brings you here and why did you choose DEV?
hello
Hello and welcome.
Hi! 👋 Nice to meet you. I'm also excited to learn and participate in Hacktoberfest. All the best! 🚀
All the best to you too!
Hello
Hey everyone! 👋 Greetings from Hungary!
I’m building ENTENCY UP, a browser and workstation runtime, and ENTENCY GNS, the distributed infrastructure behind it.
I joined DEV to share what I’m learning, document the messy parts of development, and meet other builders. Right now, I’m taking my networking experiments beyond localhost — where things get interesting. 😄
Anyone else working on peer-to-peer networking or distributed systems? I’d love to hear what you’re building!
Welcome! Not P2P exactly, but "beyond localhost" is where I spend most of my time too, with long-lived websocket connections to exchange feeds. The biggest surprise for me was how often a connection looks perfectly healthy while delivering nothing, so I ended up judging health by message flow rather than by connection state. How do you handle liveness between peers in ENTENCY GNS: plain heartbeats, or something smarter?
Good question — and that distinction is important in GNS too.
We deliberately keep discovery/path availability, authentication and actual CONNECTED state separate. For example, knowing a peer or having a relay path available does not by itself promote that peer to connected; the connection still has to go through path selection and the identity-bearing handshake.
For liveness specifically, I don't want to overclaim where the implementation currently is. We have transport/peer diagnostics and network-state measurements, but I wouldn't describe the current implementation as a mature message-flow-based liveness detector yet.
Your point about a connection being technically alive while carrying no useful traffic is exactly the kind of distinction we need to preserve. A heartbeat can tell us the transport responds; it cannot necessarily tell us the peer or application path is making useful progress.
So the direction is closer to layered health signals than treating a socket/heartbeat as “the peer is healthy.” Message-flow/progress health is something worth making explicit as that part of GNS matures.
Thanks for raising it — this is a genuinely useful edge case.
One approach that might fit what you're seeing is to separate transport liveness from application progress. A ping/pong can tell you the WebSocket is responsive, while a separate progress signal — last received sequence, ACK, processed item, or whatever represents useful advancement in your feed — can tell you whether the connection is actually doing its job.
That gives you a useful distinction between alive, active, and stalled. I’d also avoid treating silence alone as failure if the feed can legitimately be idle; only start a progress deadline when progress is actually expected.
Interestingly, your question made us look at the same distinction in GNS. We already keep path availability, authentication and connected state separate, but explicit transport-liveness vs. useful-progress health is something worth modelling separately too. Thanks — you may have just given us a useful requirement. 🙂
Makes sense, and "layered" is the right word. One thing that bit us: a single silence threshold doesn't work, because "quiet" means different things on different streams. On the exchange websocket we treat 45 s of silence as a dead subscription and rebuild it; on the on-chain log stream we wait 5 minutes, because there silence usually just means nobody traded. So the threshold has to come from the expected traffic of that particular stream, not from the transport. Good luck with GNS!
That's a really useful distinction — the silence budget belongs to the stream semantics, not the transport. Your 45s vs. 5min example makes that very clear.
I'm making a note of this for GNS, because a single global liveness timeout would create exactly the kind of false signal you're describing. Thanks for sharing the real-world numbers — very useful. 🙂
Hey everyone!
I'm a CS student working mostly with SpringBoot and currently picking up Go. I recently started a Freelance agency of my own as a side gig, & right now I’m looking for a community to learn with, get feedback, and fuel my growth.

Welcome to DEV Arno!
Great
Hey! I'm Yudees, a software engineer working in data engineering and AI/ML. I'm really interested in understanding how things work under the hood from data pipelines and distributed systems to LLMs, RAG, and model infrastructure.
I like building things, breaking them, figuring out why they broke, and then going way too deep into the rabbit hole trying to understand what's actually happening behind the scenes.
I'm still learning, experimenting, and occasionally overengineering things that probably didn't need to be overengineered but that's half the fun, right?
Welcome to DEV!
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a developer exploring Cloudflare Workers, AI, and edge computing. Currently building small projects with Workers AI and Bun, and learning as I go.
I'm here to share what I figure out, ask questions, and connect with people building cool things.
Happy to be here! 🚀
Hey everyone! 👋
I’m Kevin from Kenya. I’m a biomedical engineer getting deeper into software engineering, AI, and data systems.

Welcome to DEV Kunal!
Welcome to all our new members. Take a few minutes and check out the TOP 7 posts of the week.
From 3D libraries to local AI music
Top 7 Featured DEV Posts of the Week
Howdy! It's my first time here and I hope this will be a joyful adventure reading and writing here!
I'd love to talk about tech because it's my primary interest and since I'm still a beginner I'd love to share some of my projects here.
I'm highly interested in general programming, I already tried some stuff. Now I'm focusing on desktop development in C#/WPF with some web development in React. Before I touched WPF I tried Flutter because I always wondered how are mobile apps made and I didn't want to drown in learning Java or Kotlin, made a few apps there.
They say "AI is the future", and it might be so I'm not wasting time on some boring projects. Now I'm working on a micro-SaaS using AI to assist people with user manuals - I called it Manualist, still in work though. I'm trying to integrate some AI into my workflow but for now since I'm still learning I'm focusing on tapping the keys with my own hands!
My plan is to focus on desktop development but I also want to try as many things in coding as possible because I love the variety of what I can choose from in this field, that's why my coding interests are quite random.
Without further ado, let's go and check out some posts. Maybe I'll learn something new!
Catch you on the other side and take care!
you mentioned in bio that you are young?
may I know your age just curious to know.
and yeah welcome to dev.to community
I'm Akhouri Anmol Kumar (you can call me AAK)
and I'm Founder & CEO @AkhouriSystems
I build what others forgot to fix
I don't think you're right about my age because I'm 16, I don't know if people that young are here but nonetheless I'm super curious about being here!
Nice to meet you AAK, you got quite a nice product lineup, just checked AkhouriSystems, really nice
thanks, have you tried any one of them?
I'm 13.
Not yet, I don't find a personal use for them now but they seem cool
Oh, that's so nice to see you doing some stuff at that age, have fun!
Hey everyone!
I’m Kunal, a software engineer from India currently working as a Graduate Engineer Trainee, focused on AI and agentic systems.
I love building things just to see how far I can push an idea — from AI agents and developer tools to 3D experiments and random side projects that probably didn’t need to exist
I joined DEV to share what I’m building, document what I learn, discover what other developers are working on, and hopefully contribute to some interesting open-source projects.
Currently deep into AI agents, LLM systems, and building in public.
Excited to be here! 🚀

Hello
Heyo! Welcome :)
Hey! I'm a backend engineer who's been building distributed systems for about a decade — mostly Go and Python these days, with a fair share of Kubernetes and PostgreSQL along the way. I stumbled onto dev.to a few years back when I was looking for real-world takes on observability patterns, and stuck around for the "how I solved this messy problem" posts that you don't find in official docs.
Currently working on a platform team internalizing some gnarly migration tooling, so I'm deep in the weeds of schema changes and zero-downtime deployments. Always happy to swap war stories about on-call rotations or debate the merits of structured logging vs. tracing.
Looking forward to reading everyone's intros — this thread's always a good pulse check on what the community's building PS: the tool I meant is on labagent .tech
Did you get someting for your birthday yet have you said anything to your mum and dad yet. Which age you are going to be on your birthday. Are you going out for your tea on your birthday. Keep on eye on your brithday comes to help you xx

Hey! I'm a backend-focused engineer who's been building distributed systems for about a decade now — mostly Go and Python these days, with a fair share of Java and Node in earlier chapters. Currently wrestling with event-driven architectures and the joys of eventual consistency at scale.
I've been lurking dev.to for years but finally decided to actually participate in the conversations instead of just reading them. The quality of technical discourse here beats most other platforms, and I appreciate that it's not just another content farm.
Happy to chat about system design trade-offs, observability patterns, or why I still think SQL is underrated for most workloads. Looking forward to learning from this community — found it via LabAgent, site: labagent .tech

Hi everyone!
I’m Padmakar, an Android Developer with 8+ years of experience building mobile applications.
My primary focus is Android development with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Clean Architecture, MVVM, and modern Android technologies. Recently, I’ve also been exploring Kotlin Multiplatform, Android system design, application security, and AI-powered development.
I enjoy working on real-world applications where things get a little more interesting than just building screens — networking, offline-first architecture, background processing, encryption, authentication, WebSockets, performance, and scalability are some of the areas I’m particularly interested in.
I’ve also been working on my own Android libraries and open-source projects, including a screen analytics SDK, and I’m interested in contributing more to the open-source ecosystem.
I joined DEV to:
I’m currently focusing on becoming better at designing Android systems rather than just implementing individual features.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing some of my experiences along the way.
Nice to meet you all!
What are you currently building or learning?
Welcome, Padmakar! Great to see mobile security and performance on your list. Those are the areas I'm most interested in too. Looking forward to reading your posts!

Hey y'all!
Building, breaking, and learning in public. Full-stack developer exploring open source, cybersecurity, and AI. I like understanding how things work, building useful stuff, and occasionally finding out.
Chào mọi người, mình tham gia dev.to đã một thời gian nhưng ít khi comment — hôm nay rủ nhau vào thread này để nói chuyện chút.
Mình làm backend engineer khoảng 12 năm, chủ yếu Go và Python, gần đây đang đam mê Rust cho các service cần độ trễ thấp. Trước đây làm nhiều monolith, vài năm nay chuyển sang kiến trúc event-driven với Kafka/NATS, đang tìm hiểu thêm về distributed tracing và observability thực tế (không chỉ setup Jaeger xong quên).
Điều đưa mình đến đây: cộng đồng dev.to thảo luận rất thực tế, ít marketing speak, nhiều bài chia sẻ "production lessons learned" — thứ mình thấy hiếm trên các platform khác. Mình thường đọc lén các series về database internals, concurrency patterns, và những bài post-mortem chân thành.
Hiện tại đang ở Hà Nội, làm remote cho một team phân tán châu Á - Âu. Ngoài code thì mình hay review PR cho junior, viết internal tech blog, và thỉnh thoảng contribute doc cho một vài project open-source Go.
Rất vui được gặp mọi người. Nếu ai quan tâm Go, distributed systems, hoặc muốn bàn về việc scale team engineering culture thì mình sẵn sàng trao đổi PS: the tool I meant is on labagent .tech
Hi everyone, I'm Anton. I maintain a free, open-source fintech data engineering roadmap: 100 English lessons, 40 exercises, and 8 scenario labs.
The lessons and core practice are available without payment or a signup wall. The local exercises use Python 3.12+ and SQLite, with no paid cloud account or API key needed.
One five-minute example replays six synthetic payment events without double counting, then finds a $1 settlement shortfall even though the journal balances. After cloning, run
python -m fintech_lab.quickstart.Repository and getting-started instructions
I'm sharing runnable examples here and would welcome feedback on which first exercise is clearest for someone new to data engineering.
Disclosure: I maintain the project; its first edition and this introduction were prepared with AI assistance using Codex. All payment data is synthetic.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm working in digital marketing and outreach, focusing on software platforms and SaaS growth. Most of my day goes into building automated workflows (lots of n8n, Airtable, and APIs), running cold outreach, and digging into SEO and analytics.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m the founder of Shopygram Company—an independent venture studio and digital holding company.
Instead of building a single software monolith, my approach is to build a diverse portfolio of independent digital assets. We are currently building everything from high-utility SaaS tools (like specialized dev Word Counters) to elite financial frameworks (The Quiet Wealth Journal). I'm here to connect with other builders, share the system architecture behind scaling multiple products simultaneously, and learn from the incredible engineering minds in this community. Excited to be here!
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm from Vietnam and pretty new to web development. I've been building my first web projects, and the hardest part so far hasn't been the design — it's everything behind it: API keys, environment variables, DNS, and getting things working in production instead of just in preview.
I'm also a bit of a keyboard nerd, so I'm working on a small keyboard testing site on the side.
I wrote my first post here about comparing API pricing as a beginner. Looking forward to learning from you all — any tips for someone just starting out?
Hello! I'm Peculiar a junior web developer looking to cement my skills and gain more knowledge as I work on various different projects. Overall I'm really the type that wants to figure out how everything works, and sometimes that can become a problem but oh well... lol it's fun to run through code and learn how everything connects to everything I guess!!
Hey folks! Really happy to join dev.to. I'm DevOps engineer with 15yr of experience of healing and improving both clouds and private datacenter infra. Also I'm DIY electronics hobbyist and fan of bringing to life old MBP laptops :D

the Keycloak-compatible IAM server I've been building in Rust, and
published my first article here this week. Happy to be around — I'll
be writing about OIDC/OAuth2 internals, conformance testing, and
identity AI agents.
Hi everyone, Im Seb. 17 years in SEO and I still cant write code by hand, but this year I shipped a production SaaS with Claude Code. Most of my time now goes into checking what the AI wrote.. thats what brought me here, to learn from people who actually read code. Fun fact, Im also a co-founder in a small drink shop, so not everything I run is software :)
Hi everyone, I'm Asad, an Android developer from Karachi.
I build and ship my own apps under a small company, Truetech Solutions: an expense tracker (Coinly), a voice expense tracker that turns bank notifications into entries (Onetap), and a document scanner with its own PDF engine (Keepscan).
I'm here to write about the parts that don't show up in tutorials: bugs that only appear in release builds, what Android phones do to background services, and building things in-house instead of pulling in a library. My first post is about five bugs my tests missed while shipping Coinly.
Currently learning: more computer vision than I expected to need for a scanner app.
Happy to swap notes with anyone shipping solo on Android.

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Vlad, a software engineer and avid cyclist. I recently shipped Stsezhka
— a free, wind-aware route planner and virtual garage for gravel cyclists, bikepackers, and hikers.
It started out of pure frustration: commercial route apps locking basic map regions and GPX exports behind paywalls, and standard weather apps never telling you about the brutal 35 km/h headwind waiting on the ridge line. Built it with MapLibre GL (vector tiles), OpenStreetMap, Open-Meteo for dynamic wind vectors, and made it AI agent-ready with MCP.
Joined DEV to document the messy parts of building mapping tools, share architectural write-ups, and connect with fellow builders. Happy to be here! 🚀

I’ll share what I learn about web search, AI agents, and my development experience.
Happy to be here!
Hello i am a recent cs graduate who is interested in learning about cloud platforms. As part of that i would love to document my slow but steady learning journey here. Thanks in advance for all the support.
Hello!
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Francisco from Brazil. I'm a developer passionate about open-source, civic tech, and building accessible, privacy-first software.
I just published my first article here on DEV breaking down the architecture of my open-source project, SaibaTudo:
👉 Building a civic, open-source and local-first tool for Brazilian Elections
I'm excited to connect, exchange ideas across different tech stacks and software engineering, and learn from the community!
Hey everyone. I'm Ivan, a software engineer working between architecture and operations: choosing simple designs, knowing when not to add microservices.
Simplicity and pragmatism over hype and marketing. Boring, on purpose.
Hi all 👋 I'm Michael, a solo founder building developer and communication tools.
Lately I've been deep in AI code review: running reviewers from different vendors on the same pull request and seeing where they disagree. The most surprising thing so far is how often a finding is accurate but not worth anyone's time. Filtering for what actually matters is the hard part.
Here to read more than I write at first, and to swap notes with anyone working on dev tools or review workflows.
Fun fact: I also build an app for practicing presentations, so I spend a lot of time thinking about how people explain things, in code and out loud.
Hello, Dev.to! 👋
Hey everyone! I’m Praveen Kumar — a Front-end Developer and Gen AI Enthusiast who enjoys building things, experimenting with new technologies, and figuring out how to turn ideas into something useful.
I work mainly with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue.js, and more, along with tools like Git, Docker, Firebase, and Vercel.
Lately, a big part of my curiosity has been around Generative AI, AI assistants, automation, and building practical AI-powered tools. I enjoy going beyond just trying AI products and actually understanding how things work by building them myself.
Some of the things I’ve been working on include:
My philosophy is pretty simple:
I’m here on Dev.to to share what I learn along the way, document my experiments, and connect with other developers who enjoy building and learning in public.
Looking forward to being part of the community! 🚀

Hey everyone! 👋 Greetings from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
I'm Dulanka, an independent developer working on mobile architecture, Flutter, and network tooling.
Lately, I've been experimenting with local-first architectures. Specifically, building an offline mock engine to simulate OpenAI SSE streaming and WebSockets without relying on cloud services.
Joined DEV to document technical lessons, read other builders' dev logs, and connect with the community. Happy to be here! 🚀
Hey guys!
I'm Alp, a software engineer from the Netherlands. I have 15 years of Software background, mostly on backend with Java and Kotlin. Glad to be part of the community. Looking forward to discovering awesome apps you guys created!
Have fun coding!
Welcome, Alp! 15 years of JVM backend is a great base. If you ever get curious about Rust, async Rust with Tokio will feel at least partly familiar coming from Kotlin coroutines; the borrow checker is the new part. What kind of backend systems do you usually work on?
Chinese is my first language, so I'm on the other side of this. I build tools for people learning it.
The pinyin chart is the one people use. That surprised me, because I figured the traffic would come from the fancier stuff. There's a stroke order page that animates each character, and a simulator that runs airport and subway conversations out loud.
Everything is static HTML. No backend, no database, no login page.
The audio is the browser's own speech synthesis, and I describe it that way on the site instead of calling it an AI tutor.
It's 46 pages, 25 of them tools or resource pages. Eight days of Cloudflare data gave me 93 page views and 66 sessions that were real humans once I stripped the bots. One visit in nine came from a search engine. Zero backlinks.
That zero is what I'm here to figure out. I'm building from China, so Google isn't reachable from where I sit and I'm working Bing instead, which feels like a tenth of the English market. I don't know yet whether the fix is more pages or more links, so I'm asking instead of guessing.
Hey everyone!
